Hey, I’m Ben Pintilie, itś great to have you visit! I work at the intersection of technology, continuity, and people, helping organisations operate reliably in a world that no longer depends on a single place.

This site is where I write about working from anywhere, designing for continuity, and what it actually looks like when technology fades into the background and work simply continues.

What I do

I’ve spent over 25 years working remotely and across borders, long before “remote work” had a name. That experience has allowed me to work with organisations and teams around the world, collaborating across countries, time zones, and cultures as a normal part of daily life.

Today, I work with global customers and colleagues across the UK, Europe, the United States, and beyond. My customers and professional contacts span countries including India, Brazil, France, Poland, and Australia, often working as distributed teams themselves.

This global context isn’t a special arrangement. It’s the environment modern work already operates in.

Connected, Anywhere

This site documents that reality.

Through the Connected, Anywhere series, I’m sharing a calm, practical view of working from anywhere. Not as a perk, a performance, or a risk, but as a continuation of how well-designed work already functions.

The focus isn’t on gadgets or hacks. It’s on continuity:

• Work that continues when locations change

• Planning that removes urgency rather than creating it

• Responsibility that travels with the individual

• Technology that supports people instead of demanding attention

Some posts are reflective. Others are practical. Many are deliberately unremarkable. That’s by design.

Professional background

I currently work at RingCentral, supporting customers and teams in a globally distributed environment. My role has always involved working across locations, visiting customers, and collaborating internationally.

Working from home and working from anywhere have long been part of my professional life. When COVID changed how many people worked, very little changed for me or the teams I worked with. The work continued as it always had.

That experience reinforced something I already knew: continuity is designed, not improvised.

Speaking and recognition

I’m an award-winning Toastmasters speaker, with extensive experience speaking publicly on communication, leadership, and clarity under pressure. Speaking is something I care deeply about, not as performance, but as a way to make complex ideas accessible and human.

I’ve also been a finalist for Innovative Business of the Year at the BIBAs (2023). The nomination recognised my work on a design concept to help support the rebuilding of Ukraine’s power grid following the war, focusing on resilience, recovery, and long-term sustainability.

That project reflects a recurring theme in my work: designing systems that hold up when conditions are difficult, not just when they’re ideal.

How I approach technology

I’m a technologist, but not a technologist first.

I’m more interested in how people interact with systems than in the systems themselves. Tools matter, but behaviour matters more. Security, continuity, and trust depend as much on judgement as they do on platforms.

That’s why this site stays deliberately non-technical unless there’s a reason to go deeper. When technical detail is useful, it’s separated clearly. When it isn’t, it stays out of the way.

Good technology should feel quiet.

Why this site exists

This site isn’t a portfolio and it isn’t a manifesto.

It’s a record of how modern work actually happens when it’s designed with care. It’s written for people who:

• Work across borders

• Care about continuity and responsibility

• Want work to feel calm, not fragile

• Prefer lived experience over hot takes

If that sounds familiar, you’ll feel at home here.
